Northwind Castle, Municipal Square.
"Citizens, please abide by the kingdom's order!"
Mantou rode his Bipedal Wyvern, circling above the city repeatedly, shouting through a loudspeaker. He constantly drew either envious or awestruck gazes from the people below.
As the number of players had skyrocketed, their antics became increasingly varied and inventive, even exploiting loopholes in the kingdom's laws for some tricky maneuvers.
As the sheriff, Mantou's workload had become unprecedentedly heavy. The southwest urban district he was responsible for now had more than thirty thousand people, including nearly five thousand players.
"Hey! You over there, stop stripping in public!"
"Trying to run?"
Mantou drove the Wyvern into a steep dive.
The Bipedal Wyvern extended its sharp claws and grabbed a naked player who was attempting to disrupt public order from the ground.
Mantou turned his body and, as expected, saw that familiar face.
